Renmen University Graduates
RENMEN: University Graduates NAVMC has supported education at a children’s home in Haiti for the past 12 years. Your contributions have accomplished the impossible. Since NAVMC’s involvement, every child at Renmen has graduated high school and ninety percent have go on to university. This is impressive in a country where only 10% of children attend high school and only 2% go on to university. These transformative opportunities set Renmen apart from any other children’s home in Haiti. We are proud to present some of our graduates. Ange Read her story Hello, my name is Ange. I came to Renmen orphanage in 1999 when I was 6 years old. I graduated high school in 2012 and left the orphanage in June 2014. In October 2013, with NAVMC education funding, I started nursing school in Leogane and graduated in November 2017. I was able to take part in an internship at the hospital of Innovating Health International (IHI) in January 2018, two months after I graduated nursing school. In May 2018 I was hired at the hospital as a program nurse. I have worked for 5 years at IHI as an oncology nurse where I administer chemotherapy for cancer patients. In May 2022, I started working for Saint Francois de Sales as oncology nurse. Because of NAVMC, I was able to reach an important level of education. I am doing well and married to a wonderful man. In Haiti, if a woman can graduate college and have a good paying job, it is a big achievement. NAVMC, thank you for all that you do for Renmen orphanage, and the care and education of the children there. Sincerely, Ange Betina Read her story Betina is Renmen’s most recent graduate. In January she completed a four-year degree in Accounting. She is currently looking for an internship and is also working at Renmen helping to run the school and keep the financials. My name is Betina, I am 23 years old. I was born on the 29th of September 1998 in Cotes de fer, the southern part of Haiti. I have five sisters and three brothers. Since the age of five, foundation Renmen has been my home under the loving care of Mammie Florence and Tatty Naider. As one of the many children who live in Renmen I enjoy the opportunity to eat, go to school, play and share sleeping spaces with the other girls living in the foundation. We live as brothers and sisters in the foundation and learn as a family the things that are necessary to assure us all success in life. We met Dr. Bull sometime after the big Earthquake and our relationship with him and the NAVMC team quickly grew into that of an extended family. A family who truly cares and is concerned about our well-being. When the team visits us, we get the chance to eat together, play together, participate in outdoor trips, receive beautiful presents but most importantly we get to meet the family who are helping us in many aspects of our lives. From concern about our health to our education, NAVMC helps make our lives better. Betina is the 12th to graduate from college with your support. “I know it’s only possible because of our extended family NAVMC. I want to thank everyone who has accepted all of us in Renmen as their family and has giving of their time, heart, and mind to help improve our lives. It is my dream to follow such great example and give of myself after I graduate and start working. For now, my prayer and love to my extended family.” Nerlande Read her story My name is Nerlande, and I’m 34 years old, I am married and have my first baby. I arrived at Renmen orphanage in July 2002, having left the first orphanage I was in. At the time, I had never envisioned the path I’m on today. But when NAVMC gave me the opportunity to attend university, I decided to pursue Hotel and Restaurant Management. The idea of going to university, especially in the USA, seemed like a distant dream. However, in 2022, everything changed when I met John Durham with NAVMC. NAVMC has made a significant impact on the lives of the children at Renmen, providing them with access to education and the opportunity to graduate from university. In Haiti, it’s quite rare to see such a focus on education, and it’s one of the most impactful things you do for these kids. I will always cherish the first time I met NAVMC; it marked the beginning of a beautiful relationship that I’ll be forever grateful for. I want to take this moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to all of you who have never ceased to support me in my education and career. Your generosity, kindness, and love have made an immeasurable difference in my life. I know I can never fully repay you, but I promise to always be thankful and to pay it forward by helping others in the same way you have helped me. Thank you, Nerlande Safira Read her story My name is Safira, I am 27 years old. I came to Renmen in 1996, when I was only three months old. My mother couldn’t take care of me and when she found Renmen foundation it was a relief for her. Manmie and her daughter Nathalie who is my godmother welcomed me and gave me love and took care of me. Now I am a professional. I graduated from law school and currently work at SOGEBANK, I am an Anti- Money-Laundering investigator. My journey towards my current profession began to take shape during my time at Renmen. It was at Renmen that I received support and encouragement from manmie, my godmother and the wonderful people at Northern Arizona Volunteer Medical corp (NAVMC). They played a crucial role in helping me discover
